Your attention is pulled in a hundred directions a day.
Screens, thoughts, worries, plans.
Most of the time, it runs you.
You bounce from one thing to the next
without ever really landing anywhere.
The old pattern is to live in constant scatter
and call it normal.
Mindfulness is not some special state for special people.
It is the simple act of noticing where your mind is
and gently bringing it back.
Back to your breath.
Back to this sip.
Back to the shape of the moment you are actually in.
When you practice this, even for a few seconds at a time,
your brain starts to quiet its storm.
Your body gets the message
“We are here. We are not under attack right now.”
Over time, your inner space changes.
Thoughts still come, but they are not the whole sky.
You have a little more room to choose your next move.
Love, here, is offering your own mind a place to rest.
